How does it work? What does it cost?
A well balanced diet improves health, energy levels and self-confidence. If you would like to offer these benefits to your workforce through an accessible, easy to implement nutrition education programme - BetterShape for Business is for you.
BlueSkies understand the pressures of modern lifestyles, so we've developed a simple, safe and effective weight management programme that fits around them.
With Bettershape there are no faddy diets to follow and no unrealistic expectations.
Instead, we use medically approved weight loss techniques combined with the latest information from scientific research to help members reach their own goals
All this is achieved by gradually changing current eating and lifestyle habits and doesn't require radical changes or following prescribed eating and exercise plans in order to succeed.
What's involved?
In creating the BetterShape for Business programme we've distilled the accumulated knowledge and experience of BlueSkies team of health, fitness and nutrition experts into an innovatively delivered 12 week programme.
The BetterShape experience is enjoyable and informative, giving members the opportunity to reflect on current habits and guiding them to choose small changes which collectively improve lifestyle, health and body shape.
Over the 12 weeks members will:
-
Learn how to self-motivate
-
Set effective goals for lifestyle change
-
Develop the skills underlying self-control
-
Change eating habits without feeling deprived
-
Learn quick & easy to prepare healthy meals and snacks
-
Find out how to make favourite recipes healthier
-
Select healthy options when eating out
-
Boost metabolism and energy levels
Members also benefit from the ability to:
- Gain support from other Bettershape clients in our private forum
- Share their weight loss tips with others
- Tell the world about their success on the BlueSkies website
What do members get?
On signing up to the BetterShape for Business programme members receive an email linking to an introduction to the programme, which explains the premise of the plan and how they can access the online services using the username and password provided.
This introduction also outlines what commitment is required over the next 12 weeks and explains how the flexible weekly sessions can be completed one part at a time or all at once, and reviewed as often as desired for the duration of the programme.
Each week members receive an email linking to that weeks session - containing a selection of informative articles, activities to participate in, video presentations to watch, recipes to try and motivation boosters.
The session is fun and interactive, presented by our own team of experts, and with the ability to ask us questions and chat with other members on the forum - its just like having a personal weight management coach, and as many group meetings as desired, at the members convenience. An example of an online session is shown below.
By participating in the weekly sessions and implementing the recommended lifestyle changes, participants can expect to significantly reduce waist measurements, body fat and weight over the 12 week plan.
More importantly, because the changes are sustainable and self-selected the new lifestyle modifications can be maintained, or even progressed after the plan ends. And if additional support is needed there's our maintenance plan and ongoing member support package.
How does it work?
Our BetterShape for Business programme is available to organisations, businesses, groups and teams. It is designed to be completely flexible allowing it to be moulded around your needs.
The programme can be delivered entirely online so that participants can access the sessions whenever it suits them.
However, as an organisation, you may wish encourage programme uptake or enhance the online programme by combining it with some of our learn at lunch sessions. We can even arrange for an experienced BlueSkies weight loss coach to come into the workplace and lead seminars, or train one of your own staff to conduct group meetings on a regular basis to reinforce the messages delivered online.
With the BetterShape for Business programme, there are:
- No fixed weekly meetings - sessions are delivered online so you can do them when you like, we organise any additional contact-time to fit in with your commitments
